A temporary fix for progress stuck at 99.9% ?

Post by JamieC68 »

Hey guys.. I have had several downloading torrents stuck at 99.9% progress myself many times. In most forums on this topic everyone seems to think it involves their antivirus or antimalware software blocking some sort of imaginary virus that is in the torrent file. I observed many times I would have 100% progress completion on torrents & peers trying to seed from me were stuck at 99.9% progress. I have always set my share ratio limit to 2.00 or I would bump it up to 3.00 (or higher) if I noticed extra seeding was required to revitalize a dead torrent. I thought I would experiment & discovered by simply increasing my share ratio limit another notch up to 3.05 all my peers I was seeding to who were stuck at 99.9% were suddenly able to reach 100% completion. I'm not 100% certain but think I may have stumbled onto a temporary solution to this what seems to be an ongoing problem that I have seen a lot. If everyone would simply set there seeding limit up another notch by ".05" instead of ".00" I believe it will make a big difference. This is obviously a bug of some sort. Does anyone know why this is happening & can it be fixed in the next update?
